City's summer signing from Monaco has featured in 18 games this season with his maiden goal coming in the 7-2 thrashing of Stoke in the Premier League.

While the Blues have been scoring for fun it has been difficult for Bernardo to demonstrate his own first-team abilities amongst such an abundance of attacking flair.

And speaking to mancity.com the £43m man is confident that he has a lot more to give at the Etihad. “Fortunately, with more time and more games, I’ll be able to show everyone what I can do and prove my value and I hope I can help the team reach our goals," he said.

“Always when you move clubs and move to a new country, you need time to adapt.

“England is a special country where the football is very fast and very competitive so I’m getting used to it each time we play."

The Blues travel to face Huddersfield Town on Sunday, and the 23-year-old is optimistic of another win if his side remain focused on the tricky away test.

“Every game is very physical and all the teams show a lot of passion when they play – Huddersfield are the perfect example," he added.

“It’s been said many times but it is true - you don’t have easy games in England, but that’s what makes the Premier League so special.

“We’ll try to keep doing what we’ve been doing over the past three months – to keep winning and keep our distance above our nearest rivals so that when we reach the end of the season, we’ll have a reason to celebrate with our supporters.”
